When I used to play sports, people told me I ran like a girl. Little did I know that in the future boys like me would have a chance to dominate the Connecticut High School Girls Track finals. I identify as first place! … Continue readingLMOE #154 – Transgender Sports Domination
Do you ever look around this world and think to yourself, man, I’m glad Ol’ Dirty Bastard died before he had to see all of this shit? No. Me neither. Though it’s hard not to reminisce about a time when political correctness was roundly mocked and scolded, rather than the practical law of the land. The return of all types of tribunals has not served this planet well. … Continue readingLMOE #153 – Deadnaming, Naked Professors, and Bezos Peen
I like to think of Matt and I as great detectives searching for real evidence in a worldwide case of fake news, bullshit, obfuscation, and misdirection. But, honestly, neither of us would pass a background check to be a detective in any known law enforcement office. Damn you pee tests and criminal background searches. Unlicensed muckrakers we remain. … Continue readingLMOE #152 – Andy King Going Down, Emily Ratajkowski Rising Up
We have two cross purpose phenomena in the Jussie Smollett case. First the desire to be early and loudest about an obviously just outrage over a potentially vile and brutal attack on a minority. And second, when holes in that case develop, even if you’re the media or legit journalists, mitigate any chances you’re seen as second guessing the attack story.

Here’s an idea. Put out a tremendous simpleton and cynical sermon on social morality and when people label it simpleton and cynical, declare their defensiveness to be a certain sign that you were right. How long have you been beating your wife, Mr. Man? It’s okay to hate the world. Or at least Gillette and their stamped out safety razors. … Continue readingLMOE #149 – Toxic Masculinity Don’t Need No Razors
Today was the day I think we finally said something meaningful. I can’t be sure. 147 practice runs and finally, there may be an ounce of wisdom in today’s show. It’s not as easy being profound as people on Twitter and motivational speaker tapes and Oscars speeches make it out to be. Most people say dumb shit most of the time. And we’re above average in the rankings. But today, oh boy oh boy. … Continue readingLMOE #148 – R. Kelly Sweet Smell of Relief
If this were a Friends episode, it would be called The One Where Lex and Matt ramble on because it’s the New Year and also

Before we get to our predictions for the coming year, Matt and I rounded out 2018 by dealing with some of the more profound issues

If you don’t pay attention, changes in the world can pass you by without ever even noticing them. Though you’re likely to notice the 6’2″,
